In fact, we are willing to send a message to insurance companies that we work to our fullest ethical and professional ability to make certain that people injured in truck accidents receive the maximum compensation that they are entitled to under the protection of the law.

Common Causes of Trucking Accidents

Due to the sheer size, weight, and length of a truck or 18-wheeler, it comes as no surprise that these vehicles often take longer to stop or need more room to complete a wide turn. Any time a large semi-truck is involved in a collision with a smaller vehicle, the impending damages can be devastating. We can work to determine whether your accident was caused by the truck driver, truck company, truck manufacturer, and / or another party.

Causes of truck accidents include the following:

• Driving while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or controlled substances
• Bad, defective brake systems or other malfunctioning parts
• Federal trucking regulations violations
• Speeding, reckless, or aggressive driving
• Unsecure cargo leading to overturns
• Toxic exposure in collisions involving trucks transporting hazardous materials

In most cases, we are able to secure a satisfactory result from insurance companies through tireless representation of your rights in negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. Our seasoned litigator knows exactly what is needed to create a compelling case, and in most instances, our clients don't even have to step foot in the courtroom. With our Austin personal injury lawyer on your side, you can focus on regaining your health and returning to living life normally.
